The romance of meeting

The romance of meeting

A Story by Tasi83










The 30-year-old man deliberately walked out in the last rays of the breaking dawn, a little lonely, with his head bowed. His middle-aged parents were still sound asleep, although there is no doubt that most of the family members - without exception - were early risers. He had always been somehow soothed by the waves. It was as if he were listening to the sweet-sad, romantic songs of mermaids or Siren, and only the etheric melodies of the music could penetrate the walls of the silence. The seemingly small-soul ferry ship gave me a sharp, loud horn signal as he turned into the cozy little bay, with the turrets. Re found out. he often wondered what would have happened if his bride had chosen him instead of the much older, wealthy businessman, who really didn't love anyone, he was only interested in profit and as much profit as possible. "Perhaps every person sells himself, or just makes a deal from which it is impossible to get out later?" - he asked himself. In the early morning, a playful and mischievous small group of dolphins appeared. It seemed as if they were venturing closer and closer all the way to the sandy shoreline. It is as if they are not at all afraid of being close to people.,,Why can't people get to know each other honestly and directly without prejudice? Why do they have to be forced into obscure, insidious intrigues and game situations?" - he pondered, but usually, when he had already realized the real answer, it was as if other thoughts had started to make a nest in his head. He looked at the rippling, wave-crested water in fascination. Maybe it was the morning low tide, that the infinite opened up around him and that he became one with everything. Unexpectedly, some fishermen appeared. A grandfatherly man, and a man in his early twenties. They were a little surprised that they weren't the only early risers. They kindly waved towards him and greeted him: - Kalimera, Kalimera! The young man, who was probably the old man's grandson, pushed the heavy wooden fishing boat while the old man carefully inspected the nets. Best taken in the morning. The young man hopped in beside the old man with a light leap and pulled the motor's twine a few times before the boat started with a grunting, coughing sound and they headed for the open water. The young man could still clearly see the younger man throwing a huge fishing net into the water in the middle of the huge sea, and they waited with restrained patience in the boat, so that the fish will come. Around the morning hours, the sun goes crazy again with the man. It was as if he had deliberately exposed his figure to the heat of a scorching stove, because at half past five it was almost impossible to stay on the sandy beach, especially for someone who, if he overdoes his exposure to the sun, his skin starts to get a bit disgusting reddish, painful blister-like boils. ,,Damn! It wouldn't have hurt to take the sunscreen out of one of the backpacks!" - he muttered a little to himself, while two bombshell women in bikinis approached him in striking slow motion, who could have been friends, since they were running at the same time - as a morning workout - in the now quite sparkling sunshine. - Hello dear boy! - they both greeted, accompanied by a seductive, flirtatious smile, and as the young man blushed a good deal in his modesty, the two ladies in bikinis had a good laugh at this. It seemed as if they both found the strange man very likable. Today promised to be the same day as the others. His parents soon discover that he has left the hotel again. Mother is nervous to death, while father, quite upset, arranges a real, visceral battle about duty and the responsibility of adults. "Why do you have to fight all the time?" - he asked himself another question waiting to be answered. A little later, around eight o'clock - when breakfast is usually served as part of hotel hospitality, he wandered back to the hotel and purposely led his way in front of the small dining room, so as to calm his parents' nerves, nothing happened. - And you, where were you walking?! - said the rather nervous father, looking up from his large amount of black coffee, his toast with jam. - I went down to the beach for a bit... - he answered with a bowed, humble head, because in his father's presence - at least in recent years - he tended to feel like a bit of a nobody. - But you had a good time, didn't you, my dear? - asked the mother, who was happy that her adult son was able to make decisions independently and act if necessary. - The temperature of the sea water is fantastic! he announced. - Then I can go up to the suite? - I'll give you the keys! �" the mother rummaged a little longer in the large bag, which she managed to bargain for at a discount in one of the supermarkets, where you could get almost everything besides food. - I went down to the beach for a bit... - he answered with a lowered, humble head, because in the presence of his father - at least in recent years - he tended to feel like a bit of a nobody. - But you had a good time, didn't you, my dear? - asked the mother, who was happy that her adult son was able to make decisions independently and act if necessary. - The temperature of the sea water is fantastic! he announced. - Then I can go up to the suite? - I'll give you the keys! �" the mother rummaged a little longer in the large bag, which she managed to bargain for at a discount in one of the supermarkets, where you could get almost everything besides food. - I went down to the beach for a bit... - he answered with a lowered, humble head, because in the presence of his father - at least in recent years - he tended to feel like a bit of a nobody. - But you had a good time, didn't you, my dear? - asked the mother, who was happy that her adult son was able to make decisions independently and act if necessary. - The temperature of the sea water is fantastic! he announced. - Then I can go up to the suite? - I'll give you the keys! �" the mother rummaged a little longer in the large bag, which she managed to bargain for at a discount in one of the supermarkets, where you could get almost everything besides food. my treasure - asked the mother, who was happy that her adult son was able to make decisions independently and act if necessary. - The temperature of the sea water is fantastic! he announced. - Then I can go up to the suite? - I'll give you the keys! �" the mother rummaged a little longer in the large bag, which she managed to bargain for at a discount in one of the supermarkets, where you could get almost everything besides food. my treasure - asked the mother, who was happy that her adult son was able to make decisions independently and act if necessary. - The temperature of the sea water is fantastic! he announced. - Then I can go up to the suite? - I'll give you the keys! �" the mother rummaged a little longer in the large bag, which she managed to bargain for at a discount in one of the supermarkets, where you could get almost everything besides food.
"Thank you!" See you later then! - replied the adult man, and he went away with lightning speed, because he would not have been able to stand his father's suspicious, glaring gaze any longer. - he cracked his head as he wandered up to their upstairs suite. Some teenage, pretty, tanned girls started whistling after him. "I wonder why they did it? He never thought of himself as a handsome guy, but tastes and slaps?” He quickly entered the room and changed his clothes. Just don't have to go on a sightseeing tour with your parents today, because you already have a stomach ache. He loved his mother more than anything, but he felt that his father's whole attitude and behavior was aimed solely at humiliating him, and that too in public, because the feeling was much more effective that way. Later, his parents also finished their usual morning routine and went back to their suite. "If it's not a problem, I'd like to be alone for a bit..." the grown man asked his mother in particular. "Didn't you just eat some spoiled food?" - the mother was already worried. - No, I just want to think about certain things. - Here you go! This trip cost a lot of money, and then what does my adult son want, to think and reflect on his own! Why didn't you become a monk then?! - the father irritated himself unnecessarily. - My father! Don't be childish! If Tóni wants to be alone, we'll go for a walk in the city! �" with that, the mother already took her canvas bags, fixed her sunglasses in her short-cropped hair, put on comfortable fishing pants and was ready to go, while the father was almost nowhere in getting dressed. Even so, it must have taken twenty minutes before they both started sightseeing and shopping, until the grown man could finally be alone in the room. He involuntarily scribbled down a few thoughts in his small diary, and then he began to think that maybe he would go down to the dining room, after all, it would be lunch time soon, and see if he could meet a lady who could be his girlfriend, even for a long time. Although he always had a tendency to give up on the pursuit of happiness, he realized that he would have to try certain things for himself to see if they would work. after all, it's lunch time soon, and if he manages to meet a lady who can be his girlfriend, even for a long time.

Although he always had a tendency to give up on the pursuit of happiness, he realized that he would have to try certain things for himself to see if they would work.
He walked down to the restaurant with heavy steps, and while most of the chefs were just looking at what a lounging hotel guest was doing here, when there were still plenty of two hours until lunch, the grown man didn't bother himself at all. He took a seat at a table in the back row and was lost in his own thoughts.,,I wonder how Kata is feeling right now? Did he find what seemed impossible to achieve with him? It's been more than five years since they broke up, and since then they've pretty much only talked through Kata's girl friends, if they've spoken to each other at all. Although Kata made a vow and promised that she would definitely visit in the summer and thoroughly explore life's big, recurring questions of destiny, but this never actually happened. Now here is where the coast breaks, and instead of to enjoy the holiday a little and be happy with life is like a sour, pickled cucumber!"Later, a group of five girl friends appeared almost out of nowhere. All five ladies were radiantly radiant and incredibly beautiful and exotic. Of course, they were all tanned, and of course in bikinis, grinning like wild animals. It didn't take long for them to notice the lonely, slightly sad man sitting alone. One of them whispered something in English to the other four, then slowly walked over to the man's table. It still took the grown man five minutes to look up at the bewitching pair of doe eyes. She immediately stood up and pulled out the chair in front of her, while the other four girl friends already started giggling to themselves. - Hello... Thank you very much! he thanked her in slightly broken English. - How are you? I think you are a really sad man! he said how sad he sees her, and that was interesting to him. Although the adult man's English was a bit worn out, he managed to mumble that he traveled here with his parents and that he has to rethink his life, because he is often overwhelmed by the uncertain feeling that he doesn't know what to do next? The woman looked at him seriously, and it was as if she felt exactly and understood what the other was thinking in one fell swoop. He held out his tanned, bronzed, tiny, almost child-sized hands and squeezed the other's furry paws, assuring him that he sympathized with him. But this intimate touch seemed to be a promise of the budding love, the romance of the future... The members of the group of girls took their place elsewhere and seemed to protect their barmaid very seriously, as they did not take their eyes off the pretty, about their sexy girlfriend. The grown man was a little afraid of them. They pretty much tried to talk to each other until lunch time, and although they could hardly understand anything from each other's speech beyond the flurry of familiar words and expressions, by the time lunch time arrived and the adult man's parents also appeared a little thirsty from exhaustion, and with less equanimity when they were hungry, they noted that their son had finally found someone with whom they understood each other well and seemed to be on the same wavelength. When the vacation of more than six days soon ended inos girl gave some of her contact information to the grown man with whom she was actually so good to be with, and with whom she could feel that maybe a new beginning could begin...
